Evans Halshaw Geely Mansfield is the manufacturer’s 100th retail site in the UK. The contract signing ceremony took place at Geely Auto’s new headquarters in Ansty, with the signing adding three more sites to be operated by Evans Halshaw.
The 100th site will be a standalone dealership in Mansfield, Evans Halshaw’s fourth location with Geely Auto. Other new sites in Newcastle and another East of Glasgow join the existing site in Lincoln.
Gary Armstrong, managing director at Evans Halshaw, said: “We are proud to represent Geely Auto UK as their 100th store.
“This demonstrates our continued partnership with the brand and our commitment to further growth across our network.
“We look forward to bringing the Geely Auto range to even more customers and supporting the brand’s long-term ambitions in the UK.”
The achievement comes just under a year since Geely launched in the UK.
Michael Yang, managing director at Geely Auto UK, said: “The signing of the 100th store marks a new milestone in Geely Auto’s development in the UK. It confirms we are a credible player developing an established dealer network that can provide users across the UK with convenient and comfortable test-drive and service experiences.
“With Geely Auto’s first dealership with Lithia / Evans Halshaw in Lincoln delivering strong sales results in a short space of time, Lithia / Evans Halshaw has clearly seen the potential with Geely Auto and we have just signed an agreement to add three more Geely Auto dealerships to their group.
“This is of significant strategic importance to Geely Auto as Lithia is the second-largest automotive dealer group in the UK, making this signing a real line in the sand for us. The addition of three more dealerships across the UK fully demonstrates Lithia / Evans Halshaw recognition of Geely and shows that both parties are highly aligned in their commitment to customer satisfaction and sustainable development.”
